is a woman! 
PC (political correctness) might have ruined one of the best shows ever made but we'll see. I'm very disappointed but I guess it was inevitable. Judging by the last season, the show is on its way out. I hope it gets better.

Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker is to be the first woman to play Doctor Who. The announcement was made on BBC One and social media around the world after the Men's Wimbledon Final today.

I honestly can't see Dr. Who suddenly being a woman. They may prove me wrong ??? Just wait until my hubby hears about this! He grew up on the series!!

Then he will have a harder time than me adjusting to the new Doctor! It's funny how many of the actors that play the Doctor grew up watching it, isn't it? I just don't think it is fair to ruin most of the last season trying to bend over backwards with the lesbian thing then give us a female doctor the next season. The stories suffered last season. If they had just gone with the story line and not tried to emphasize Bill's lifestyle they would have been fine. Now they're going far afield to please everyone and I don't think it will work. We'll see!

They have become increasingly politically correct over the past season and the show is suffering for it. Already someone mentioned an article that calls people names for not liking the change.

@dragon54u Politically correctness is becoming ridiculous.

Wow, I hadn't heard this. If it's not broke why fix it ? I loved the original Dr. Who

Me, too! PC manages to ruin everything eventually, I guess. But who knows? Maybe it'll surprise us!

Maybe, but it was very popular prior to this according to fans and the people that keep track of such things. We'll see. I'm sure they announced it now to give people a chance to mull it over and get used to the idea.

Political correctness is now the rule of thumb and considered the most important aspect in all decisions and behavior and anyone disagreeing gets dumped on. I have already read an article stating that anyone complaining about the casting of Jodie Whitaker is a deplorable sexist.
